We are on V5R4. There are a number of printers attached as 3812 devices. None are AFP(*YES).

The writers end periodically. I have seen this happen due to jams as well as out of paper. May be other issyes.

I thought I would look at the activation timer setting. One printer is set to 170. Thought I might try increasing that value.

The help text states:

"Note: *NOMAX is valid only when DEVCLS(*LAN) and
AFP(*YES), or when are specified."

What does help state for current versions? Looks like something is missing in that text, which I have checked twice for accuracy.

Is there any way I can keep the writer from ending when a printer is ignored for an extended period of time?
